Q: How to Service and Repair the Release Hood Cable on Ford Escort?
A: The process of servicing and repairing the hood cable starts with hood latch removal followed by detachments of the hood control handle and cable from the instrument panel steering column cover through nut loosening. The first step involves removing the front fender splash shield through pin-type retainer and screw removal. Replace the clips from the hood control handle and cable before connecting a suitable wire section to the hood latch part. Enter the passenger compartment area to take out both the hood control handle and its cable. The wire installation process begins by fastening it to the new hood control handle and cable near their hood latch end before pulling the assembly into its correct place. Screw the hood control handle and cable to the instrument panel steering column cover by fitting the position correctly before tightening the nut. Before reinstalling the hood latch the technician must secure the hood control cable clips and the front fender splash shield.
Q: How to Service and Repair the Hood Cable on Ford Excursion?
A: The first step to service the hood cable is disconnecting the battery ground cable. The service begins by taking out the hood latch and pin-type retainers followed by setting the air deflector aside to reach the hood cable guide. The service requires removal of the hood cable guide and all other remaining parts. Start by taking out the PCM together with the A-pillar lower trim panel while next removing all nuts to let the hood latch release/park brake bracket drop free from the vehicle. The cable conduit must be released followed by cable removal from the handle to detach the hood cable. Extract the hood cable and dash panel grommet from the front area of the vehicle as the final step. The installation steps remain opposite to the removal steps.
Q: How to Service and Repair the Hood Cable on Ford F-350 Super Duty?
A: The first step when servicing the hood cable should be to disconnect the battery. Start by removing both the hood latch followed by its pin-type retainers. You must set the air deflector to reach the hood cable guide before taking out the guide together with any other remaining guides. The powertrain control module (PCM) alongside the A-pillar lower trim panel both need to be taken off. The vehicle must support the hood latch release/park brake bracket after you remove all the nuts from this section of the vehicle. Release the cable conduit then detach the hood cable from its handle. Before finishing the installation process remove the hood cable and dash panel grommet through the front access point of the vehicle. The reverse steps of installation should follow the removal procedure.
